We're Hooked on This TV Series
Joe and I have been watching The Kominsky Method on Netflix, and we’ve been hooked. Michael Douglas plays Sandy Kominsky, an aging acting coach with a sharp tongue, and Alan Arkin plays Norman, his longtime agent and even longer-time friend.
The show is filled with witty one-liners and dry humor, like when Sandy says, “The good news is I still wake up every morning. The bad news is I have to get out of bed.”
What makes the show so good isn’t just the humor—it’s the honesty. Aging isn’t glamorized. It’s messy, inconvenient, and
sometimes heartbreaking. But it’s also full of dry humor, second chances, and surprisingly sweet moments.
Watching Sandy and Norman banter their way through the ups and downs reminds me how powerful long-term friendship really is—even when life feels
like a string of doctor’s appointments and awkward family dinners.
The dialogue is sharp and often laugh-out-loud funny. At one point, Norman deadpans, “I’m not great at parties. I tend to tell people what I really think of them.” And when Sandy is told to act natural, he mutters, “I haven’t felt natural since
1973.”
It’s the kind of show that makes you laugh out loud one minute and feel quietly reflective the next. Highly recommend.
